Hm, what about a buffered voltage follower (i.e. NPN BJT's base on the output of the opamp negative feedback and output on the emitter, VCC on the collector)? Should give plenty of current, with limited CE voltage drop but the ability to basically go to the negative rail with output voltage. > I again took a buffer (voltage follower) formed of a generic R2R-IO, > unity gain-stable CMOS opamp (MIC7300, TLV9001...).
